September 23, 2009 - Travel enthusiasts have one more reason to voyage south this month: Wildlife Vacations Inc., a full service luxury vacation company specializing in South America travel icons, with a heavy emphasis in Ecuador and Galapagos Island cruises and tours; is celebrating the 174th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s arrival to the untouched Islands of the Galapagos.
Shortly after Darwin’s celebratory bicentennial, Wildlife Vacations Inc. hopes to enlighten travelers about the story behind Darwin’s discovery of the popular vacation spot.
What was initially scheduled as a necessary stop, to re-stock the HMS Beagle with food and water, later became an iconic finding of the Galapagos Islands. Darwin, aboard the ship, travelling across the globe, spent the majority of his five weeks on the islands observing and collecting critical information, which would soon pave the way for his revolutionary ideas.
“It’s quite a unique and historic story behind the discovery of the Galapagos Islands,” added Jonathan R. Pinto, President & CEO of Wildlife Vacations Inc.”We like to remind people that their vacation to the islands is truly a learning experience with an extensive history like nowhere else.”
